Summary

It turns out we have a lot to say about our relationship to communism, so we're breaking this theme segment up into a two-parter. We'll start off our gargantuan exploration by covering some basic definitions of communism and socialism, and dive headlong into some heated historical splits between Marx and Bakunin. We'll hear statements from Jeremy Hammond, Marshall "Eddie" Conway, and anarchists holding it down in Ukraine, as well as an interview with Anarcho-communist Wayne Price.
